REVISION OF GENUS ZAMARADA 233 



Zamarada dolorosa sp. n. 



(Text-figs 395, 396; PI. 82, figs 782, 783; PL 119, fig. 1069) 



$ $ (PI. 119, fig. 1069). Tegulae light brown (pi. 6, D6). Hyaline area of wings white, 

 slenderly edged distally with black, then glossy grey; discal spot on fore wing black, glossy 

 grey medially; costa of fore wing brownish grey striate with glossy grey; hyaline area otherwise 

 immaculate. Non-hyaline terminal area of each wing uniformly brownish grey on upper 

 and under surfaces. 



The male hind leg is similar to those of perlepidata and terpsichore. 



<$ genitalia (Text-figs 395, 396). Uncus tapered, rather longer and more strongly sclerotized 

 than in preceeding species in the group. Ventral plate of gnathus broad and scoop-like. 

 Valves asymmetrical; apical margin of left valve deeply excavate, excavation equal in depth 

 to width of valve at point of cleavage. Fulcrum a little dilate in apical half and scobinate. 



$ genitalia (PI. 82, figs 782, 783). Ductus bursae weakly ribbed and sclerotized, joined to 

 asymmetrical sterigma at right side. Lamella postvaginalis sclerotized as illustrated, with 

 a strong disc-like plate at each side. 



Measurements. Fore wing: ^$ 15-17 mm. Antennal pectinations: (J 7 x , $ 6 x diameter 

 of shaft. 



Distinguished from the similarly coloured perlepidata and terpsichore by the 

 uniformly brownish grey non-hyaline terminal area of each wing, which lacks 

 the proximal light brown band found in those species, and by the presence of 

 conspicuous, light brown rather than brownish grey tegulae. In the male genitalia 

 the form of the deeply excavate apex of the left valve and in the female the 

 strongly sclerotized pattern on the lamella postvaginalis are diagnostic.

The REFLEXARIA -Group 



Moths in this group have the hyaline area of the wings slightly tinged with 

 green; the non-hyaline terminal area on the fore wing and on the anterior half 

 of the hind wing is dark brown; on the posterior half of the hind wing it is buff; 

 the subterminal fascia is dark grey to black; discal spot on fore wing well developed, 

 that on hind wing small or absent. 



Characterized in the male genitalia by the form of the fulcrum, from which 

 the strongly sclerotized slender core, acicular or tipped with several spines, curves
